I'm not going to describe Ammy's and Chibi's human form. I'll let you decide what they look like :D
"Alright, Chibi. I'm counting on you to deliver this to Waka," Amaterasu said, handing her son a small slip of parchment. "I trust that you will not reveal our secret to anyone, even those you trust. It's our little secret," she said, holding a finger to her lips. Being on the Celestial Plain had its advantages. Amaterasu and Chibi had human forms, and that is exactly what they were going to use to their advantage.
"I won't let you down, Mother," Chibi said, a grin crossing his face. He was so eager to help; he wanted to get out of this place as much as Amaterasu did. Now it was time for her to do her part in the plan. She raced to the kitchen, grabbing two sake jugs and setting them on the table. As strange as it may seem, Amaterasu was always good at chemistry, and got to work making a special potion that would be added to Waka's sake.
A couple minutes later Chibi returned and Amaterasu was nearly done making the potion. She smiled as he walked in. "A guard stopped me so I told him to give the letter to Waka. He should be here by the time you planned."
"That's fine. I'm sure the guard with think it is sincerely a date after he reads it, because I know he'll make sure it's okay to give to Waka." She added a final drop of something unknown to Chibi. He cocked his head.
"What exactly will the potion do, Mother?" He asked.
"It will only amplify whatever feelings Waka has ever had for me, and by the time this date is over, he'll want to do anything for me. We'll have to lock him up for the meeting tonight, though. We don't want to arouse suspicions." As much as she hated drugging the Moon Tribe member, she knew it had to be done for her to have any freedom.
He grinned in understanding. "And how long does this potion last?"
"About a day, so as soon as the meeting is over tonight we'll make our move. I will announce that I am leaving on a vacation, I just hope that none of the other gods disapprove," she responded. She seperated the two sake jugs, one on the part of the table closest to her, the other on the farthest side. She walked over to the one on the farthest side and poured the potion into it. She then sat at her end of the table and instructed Chibi to wait by the door for when Waka came.
Minutes later, a knock sounded at the door. It was dusk, and the sun was just about to drown in the horizon. Amaterasu heard Chibi open the door and invite Waka in. "Welcome! Amaterasu is waiting for you in the kitchen," he told him, then closed the door behind him and went upstairs to his room. Chibi winked at Amaterasu as he ascended the stairs.
"Amaterasu, ma chérie! I apologize for the inconvenience of the Crystal Pool. I believe it will help keep any remaining demons off our scent." He smiled, and Amaterasu nearly rolled her eyes at his usual getup. The same outfit he always wore. She smiled as she remembered Chibi's nickname for him. Captain Fuzzy-Buttons.
"Please. It is nothing, I understand. Now, sit and let us enjoy this evening!" Amaterasu said with her charming smile.
"Of course," Waka said as he sat in the chair opposite Amaterasu. "Is this sake?" He asked upon sitting.
"Yes. Freshly brewed. Shall we have a toast?"
Waka stared at the sake, then at Amaterasu. "I appreciate your offer of this sake, Amaterasu, but I'm afraid I must decline. It is against my rules in life to drink such a powerful liquid."
Amaterasu frowned. "But I insist. At least one sip? I will bother you no more with anything if you take just one sip."
He looked at the sake skeptically. "Okay, but only one sip. For you."
Amaterasu exhaled in relief as he took a sip of his sake. It should only take one sip for the potion to take effect. "Amaterasu. This is quite divine, but I must ask you to remove this liquid from me before I destroy your house looking for more."
"Uh, okay," Amaterasu said, taking the jug away from him.
"And make sure you throw it out the window, too."
Oh goodness. I suppose I should do it, given the fact poor Waka has been drugged. She casually opened the kitchen window and emptied the jugs of sake onto the grass. I wonder if it's possible grass could get drunk? I guess I'll find out when it's dead in the morning.
By the time she turned around, Waka had materialized in her face. "Ma chérie..."
"Oh my gods, Waka... You're a little too close for liking, there, buddy," she said as she took a step back against the wall.
"But ma chérie, do you know how much I love you?" He took a step closer, pinning Amaterasu against the wall.
She needed to play along, as much as she would regret it. It's the only way! She thought. So she stepped forward and kissed him. Amaterasu felt so bad at this point. The kiss wasn't even real.
"That was like Heaven," Waka said in a drunken tone.
"Well, newsflash, we are in Heaven. Sort of. Now come on. Up to my room." She took Waka's wrists firmly and lead him up the stairs to her room. She sat him on the bed. "You have to stay here. I'll be right back, I promise," she said, turning. She stopped and turned. "And one more thing, Waka. Can you take me to Nippon, please?"
He looked at her. "Of course, ma chérie. Anything for you."
She smiled. "Okay, great. We shall leave when I return." And with that, she turned and marched down the steps, calling for Chibi to follow her. Chibi immediately stepped out of his room, closed the door to his mother's room, and ran down the steps after her.
They transformed into wolves when they stepped outside and without hesitation sped through the cherry blossom orchard to the twin mountains behind it.
"Are we late?" Chibi huffed as they came to a large cave mouth and stopped.
"Probably. Oh well."
They marched inside, and it seemed that every other god was there. Moegami lit the torches and welcomed the two wolves.
"Ah, Mother Amaterasu. Welcome to our monthly meeting, and may I ask why you are late?" Tachigami, the mouse god of Power Slash, asked.
"Ah, well, me and Chibi had some... Business to attend to. I'm afraid Waka won't be showing up today, he has a terrible sickness and couldn't make it out of bed today," Amaterasu lied.
"Then why is he right there?" Bakugami, the god of Cherry Bombs, asked as Waka came stumbling in. Amaterasu gasped, and cursed in a million different languages in her head.
"Chibi, you're in charge! Waka is really sick he shouldn't be here and I will take him back home please pardon the interruption," Amaterasu said, standing up immediately and speaking a million miles an hour. She turned to human form and ran up to Waka. "Come on Waka we're going back. You're really sick you shouldn't be here!"
"Only love sick, ma chérie," he responded, trying to kiss her. All of the gods just stared at the spectacle happening in front of them. Amaterasu glanced at her son, trying to give him the hint. He got it after a few seconds.
"Alright, guys! Let my mom take Waka home, as you can see he is very sick. Now, monthly meeting... What to talk about... So, Moegami! Please tell me how you inherited the power of Inferno!" Well, it was better than nothing. Her son was not very good at starting meetings.
After a few seconds, he responded to Chibi. "Well, you see, Chibiterasu... My mother and father were both phoenixes..." By now, Amaterasu had drowned out the conversation around her and lead Waka outside the cave.
"Come on, we have to get back to my palace," she told him.
He glanced at her and gasped. "My, my! I didn't know you loved me that much, ma chérie!"
She looked at him, confused for a minute. "Excuse me?" Then she got what he was implying. "Oh my gods, NO!" So she punched him, which knocked him out. "Uh oh," she said. She leaned down and slapped his face a couple times. "Waka! Wake up!" But he didn't. Whoops, she thought. So she turned to wolf form and draped him over her back. She ran off back in the direction of her palace.
She ran up the steps, into the palace, and up into her room. She threw him on the bed, and for good measure, used vine technique to tie him to the bed. There. All done. Now I have to go back to that accursed meeting. So she sped around, back down the steps, through the cherry blossom orchard, and to the mouth of the cave.
When she walked in, she heard the yelping of her son. "Chibi!" She screamed. She stopped when she caught sight of Chibi, the poor pup was set on fire.
"Mom! Help! Moegami used Fireburst and it accidentally set me on fire!" Oh my gods! She thought, so she used deluge to create a downpour, which extinguished Chibi, but also drenched the other gods and put out the torches. She looked at Nuregami, the snake god of water where she had learned deluge from.
"Nuregami, why didn't you use deluge?!" She yelped at the snake.
The snake looked fearfully at the other gods before responding. "So that wouldn't happen..." Amaterasu turned to look at the other gods, which were now all glaring at her.
Moegami ruffled his feathers to try to get dry. "Amaterasu, my sincere apologies for setting your son on fire. I think we were all just a little surprised when he mentioned you were returning to Nippon."
Amaterasu sat down, when she thought: Wait, I can just dry them all off with Galestorm, right? Then we'll all be in a better mood. So she drew a loop with her brush, sending the powerful wind through the cave. As soon as she used Moegami's fire to light the torches again, she gasped in shock at what the gods had become. She stifled a laugh, but Chibi full-out exploded with laughter. All of the gods (except for Yomigami and herself) now had their fluffy white fur sticking up as if they'd been electricuted.
She swallowed her laugh. "So, you were saying? Yes, we are planning to return to Nippon. And yes... It is okay with Waka," she lied. She giggled a little bit. Chibi was dying with laughter. "Alright, this meeting did not go well... Well, end of the meeting see you next month, possibly, goodbye!"
She picked Chibi up by the scruff of his neck and left the cave, the gods all staring at her in confusion. Amaterasu set her son down only when they reached the middle of the cherry blossom orchard. "Mom, that was the best, most funniest thing you have ever done. Can you do it again sometime?"
She chuckled. "Only if Moegami sets you on fire again, Chibi."
He smiled. "Okay, that won't be hard! I'll just be my usual annoying self and I'll get to see them with affros again!" Amaterasu laughed as they walked back to her palace.
Waka was still knocked out and tied down, so he wouldn't be of much use. At least he wasn't there to stop Amaterasu and Chibi when they reached the Ark.
There were four guards around the Ark of Yamato, each one taking a side of the triangular sky vessel. Amaterasu and Chibi knew that if they power slashed a guard, he would only fall over, just to get up again. Veil of mist worked for about two seconds, and coating them with ink lasted about four seconds. They snuck around the bushes surrounding the clearing where the Ark stayed. Amaterasu power slashed the gaurd by the ladder leading into the ark, then covered him with ink, then used veil of mist. It bought them about ten seconds, in which they raced up the ladder and into the cabin of the ark.
